“We are pleased to be able to reopen for the May Day long weekend, and the start of the Dry Season where we have a jam-packed events program for the public to enjoy.”

“Visitors can be confident that the Recreation Lagoon remains one of the safest places in the Top End to swim.”

Swimmers are encouraged to enjoy the Recreation Lagoon and to remember that it is an active marine ecosystem and not a pool. Some marine stings will always be possible. Swimmers who encounter any type of marine sting should immediately report to lifeguards on duty for treatment and assessment.
